There is something wrong with your brain. Is your comment from the video or the hopeless ghanaweb post? The mayor only asked him a question, restrained people who wanted to confront the officer and asked for the officer to be left alone. The statement that je said the officer is there collecting money I did not see come from the minister. The officer now understands eyes are watching. Do you know for sure what actions the minister took after the encounter?
Have you asked the effects of those shameful actions of the police are? There were witnesses at the same who reported his extortion. Have you asked why drivers refuse to take approved fares? Does the ministry factor police extortion fees into working out lorry fares in Ghana. Have we not always seen their superiors deny the very obvious all the time

I see your problem. You are playing a bushman's game and I've been playing on the international stage since 1983..

People don't generally complain to mayors in mass unless there is a serious problem. Then again, given that Ghana's best university--University of Cape Coast--doesn't rank in the to 1,500 internationally, I forgive you for being stupid. It's not your fault.

I would call you a man but you backpedaled on your original conviction of the cop's innocence. Men stand their ground. A real man would have admitted he was standing on shaky ground instead of trying to play the reasonable doubt card. When I practiced law in America for ten years, I could smell victory when opposition started throwing out hail-Mary passes.

I do understand it is not your fault. Even GIMPA is cheating Ghana. I know at least one guy calling himself "Dr."who is posing as a Dean even though he has not even begun applying to doctoral programs. Three universities have asked me to teach, but I won't work with or for liars. I can hangout at my beach house all day. I earned it from honest living and simply do not care about thieves or their supporters.

I didn't care in any of the many countries -- 4 continents -- in which I have lived or worked. I am not about to care in Ghana because "Lying, Cheating and Stealing" seems to be the national sport. Too lazy to medal in that sport either.

Your message reflects more arrogance than insight. Resorting to personal attacks, belittling institutions, and flaunting credentials isn’t a substitute for reasoned argument. You’ve chosen to dismiss a legitimate concern by appealing to status and geography rather than facts. That speaks more to your insecurities than to the merits of the discussion.

Ghana, like any nation, has its strengths and challenges, but mocking its institutions does nothing to strengthen your argument. If you genuinely practiced law in America, you should understand that legal reasoning thrives on nuance, not posturing. Reasonable doubt isn’t a “hail-Mary”—it’s a foundational principle of justice. Changing one’s position based on new information isn’t backpedaling; it’s intellectual honesty.

If being a “real man” means ignoring evidence and digging in out of pride, then I’m happy not to meet your definition. True strength lies in standing for truth, not eg

Ghana police are very corrupt! The citizens must revolt against them one day. If you are an officer and need more money, go into business. But they sign a bond to maintain peace and order and promote the opposite( orderliness, thievery and anarchy) by collecting bribes.

I wonder why we Ghanaian's are so hypocrite doing the hypocrite things to undermine the country"s development n turn around to complain of the same thing we caused.Is like we just kind of uncivilized citizens. We see police everyday standing at every junction of our rds doing nothing but collecting coins from drivers, adding more stress to our lives but pretending is ok. Then came a political leader to question the officer n we see wrongs in that.

If a whole mayor can insult an officer in public like this, what is he telling other civilians to do to police officers who are allegedly accused of wrong acts.

We should be very careful with things of the court to continue to have confidence.

If next time you loss a case will you say he is Npp or Ndc Judge or the others way round.Same kind of petition was sent to President Nana Addo on Theodora he binned it.You don't touch the Judiciary.

Then we do not have a country at all.Mahama shouldn't have started it at all with tjis Ofori things that has no substance.

See Bukina Faso a country with scared judges is no country All the judges instated by Campare where not removed or added.by Taore.

He only replaced their colonial garment....Very smart and patriotic moves All of you don't know what scared judges can do in this country.

Example is Accra major telling a police officer

Politics puts brainless people in big positions. Does this so-called mayor know that he's living in Ghana? Does he know Ghana isa rule-based system and that you don't go about telling people in their workplace to remove their working gear when you suspect them of wrongdoing? He was so lucky to have met a very professional officer, I wish he continues this stupidity so that one day he meets a freshly passed out constable who has no experience, they will put a bullet in his head. Even the police who are mandated to arrest people on suspicion don't order suspect to undress in public. Kwasia mayor

Unless the mayor has video evidence showing the officer collecting money, the mayor can't level any charge against the police officer. It's widely known that police officers and commercial drivers have that cordial relationships or understanding so the mayor just wants to trend to say the least. KG kids even know this and all top police officers are aware as the junior officers don't pocket it alone.

A useless mayor who doesn't know what to do. You can't have open confrontation with the Police and always go scot free. Before you identify yourself, you had already been heckled and dumped in cells. Let me advise you. Next time, gather your evidence well and petition the IGP. Don't confront the Peace Officer publicly amidst accusations. That is stupidity. You are disgracing the entire Police Service without a shred of evidence. Usually, it is the criminals who try to scandalise the Police.
